Wireless
the conversation below reminded me to order a wireless router...

Any makes / models you can recommend me to get or steer clear of ?

I have a 3-Com one
and its been flawless so far. Wasnt that expensive either.

I know nothing about hardware
but based on my cultural knowledge garnered from Saturday morning TV, I'd avoid ACME.

Yes
Stay away from Fisher Price or Tomy. They're built well, but have a very basic spec and are over-priced.

The new V-Tech ones are supposed to be quite snazzy - especially the 'My First Wireless LAN Setup'. It has an instructional video hosted by Barney the Dinosaur.

My Linksys Wag54G
has been a bit hit or miss so I'd avoid. You have ADSL or cable? I need to get a new router for my cable connection and after extensive research I'm going for a Belkin one.
